Goldman Environmental Prize Winners

Living on Earth

The Goldman Environmental Prize is often called the “Green Nobel”. This year’s winners include activists from Italy, Indonesia and Colombia who made a difference in their communities. Host Steve Curwood talks with Azzam Alwash about restoring Iraq’s marshes, with South African Jonathan Deal who fought to limit fracking there, and with Chicago’s Kimberly Wasserman who helped shut down coal-fired powerplants.
